It's a slightly less harsh version of "shit". I don't know where you're from, but it's absolutely considered a swear word in Britain and much less tolerated than "dang" or "darn" lmao
Not sure what part of the UK you're from, but that's absolutely not the case (at least in the North West where I'm from).
Crap is a bit of a crude word, but I don't know anybody who would consider it being an actual swear word. For clarity, I'm using the definition of a swear word where it's something you'd have to censor on public air.
If someone said "dang" or "darn" around here, you'd get a raised eyebrow and everyone would just think you're from the US because we just don't use those words here.
